Some equipment functions can be operated by using voice commands. Thus,
the use of the device is accelerated and increased comfort while driving.
The voice control system can be used with the following menus.
› Radio
› Media
› Telephone
› Navigation
The voice control system can be used either by the driver or by the front pas-
senger.WARNINGDo not use the voice control function in an emergency or when under
stress. Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. The
telephone connection may not be established or the connection may take
too much time to complete. The emergency number should be dialled man-
ually!
